# TAI Releases the World's First Graphite Thermal Strap (GFTS®) Catalog! Get your 2018 GFTS® Catalog Today!

[ Tyler Link ](https://www.techapps.com/blog/author/tyler-link)  January 11, 2018

For the first time in our history, TAI now offers a Graphite Fiber Thermal Strap (GFTS®) Standard Product Line, and we've just released our [2018 GFTS® Catalog](https://www.techapps.com/gfts-catalog). This is the world's only graphite/carbon-based thermal strap standard line, and the only flexible, carbon-based thermal strap product with spaceflight heritage.

The new catalog features 6 standard models, made with our GraFlex I graphite bundles/ropes, and available in nearly any shape, with customizable end fittings...and all without the burden of expensive NRE and design fees!![Thermal Straps](https://www.techapps.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ImagesResized/G6-501%20-%20bright%20-%20Clean%20-%20450x300%20-%20READY-1.jpg?width=450&name=G6-501%20-%20bright%20-%20Clean%20-%20450x300%20-%20READY-1.jpg "Thermal Straps")

*Pictured: G6-501 GFTS® Units - Customer Name and Program Withheld.*

This marks the first time in the industry's history, that customers with limited budgets--even those with ground-based or airborne applications that traditionally would have used a copper or aluminum strap--can now afford a space qualified, flexible graphite/carbon-based strap, for about the same cost as a competing stacked metallic foil strap (saving tens of thousands of dollars in the typical prototype program).
